Ripples From The Stone

[kewlchick033]

When some of us get problems
all we do is run
she just shakes her head
this isn't how its done

if you were to look her in the eye
and ask her to tell you why
she does the things she do
i don't think she'd answer you

we wouldn't understand
she just can't explain
why she does the things she do
to get rid of all the pain

***she can't forget it
she can't let it go
`til she goes to her pond
and throws in a stone

and its a long way down
to the bottom
it is hard for many
but it's not for some

ripples keep on dancing
`til they reach the broken shore
with each step she takes
she feels better more and more***

will you cry yourself to sleep
in your bed late at night
how willl we ever know
what is wrong and what is right

God, give me strength she prays
Where do i look to now
i want to toss away this pain
Lord, please just tell me how

***

Just take tha heavy stone
and let your problems sink
toss it far and throw it high
then plant your feet and think

sit and watch the ripples dance
it takes, patience, strength, and time
i promise it gets easier
with every hill we climb

***

leave your problems at the pond
and cross the bridge anew
it may take a couple stones
not just one or two

she looks down at the water
and peers into this mirror
warm tears fall down her face
she's glad no one can see her

***

once again she's happy
there's no need to fake it
she's let everything go
her pond will gladly take it

she walks across the bridge
her pain is finally gone
she just shakes her head
this is how it's done
